I am at this time considering a turbo install on my 3.0 engine, I would be using the guts of a used bae turbo kit for the 911sc. I know that I will have to do a lot of fabricating and loose some useable storage space in the trunk. I have enough support from those who have had the turbo kit installed on there cars for 20 years, and have sorted all the little problems out.
I now have to justify the need for 300hp, when my car runs great as is, but lacks a little heart pounding thrill. I like the idea of turbocharging as it is all external, biggest hp gains without internal modifications, and I have the capabilites of fabricating the plumbling. Plus it can be done for less than a pair of carbs. Someone twist my arm, it's a turbo or it's a new paint job for the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Chappy |

Turbo update, Intake is roughed in as you will see in the pictures, the crossover pipe with the turbo flange and wastegate is being fabricated and I'm waiting on the turbo rebuild. I have a Tilton electric oil pump to drain the oil from the turbo as I couldnt mount it high enough for a natural drain that was the only problem that Ive encountered so far, everything else has fallen into place. After I get it all plumbed together I will post the complete process of how to do it. I will be using a Tial wastegate,and bov, A turbo X boost controller, a 3lb pressure switch to activate a 911 SC cold start valve mounted just below the throttle body for enrichment, and will use a MSD boost retard ignition system.
I dont plan on boosting much higher than 8lbs to start with because the 901 and clutch will be at there limit at 300hp. Attached image(s) |
